When Mr.. and Mrs. CallbOard re-
turned from their wedding journey
they settled right down to house-keep
ing. Happier doves never nestled in s
fiat, and Mrs. CallbOard determined to
! make home happy for Charley from the
start. No future Misunderstanding
should arise i'm their domestic arrange
ments. if her wisdom and tact could
prevent. When they sat down to their
first meal Nellie helped him to an
opaque slab of something about an inch
thick. that fell ON the table with dull.
sickcning thud. ''There is some home
made bread like your mother used to
make. Charley, dear" she said,
sweotly. "I'learncd how to make that
solid circle of roller composition around
the middle of the loaf when we were
stopping at her house last week; if you
should ever want change / can make
bread winter than snow and lighter
than sea foam, but this is the kind your

them, and l had coroner's permit to
make these. Those CHASTITY remains on

after the favorite prescription of your
sister Jane. And this. Charley, dear"
she continued. pouring out coal-black
liquid. not quite so thick as the Mis-
souri, river. but far more odorOus, ''this

I make all these things somewhat diff

lamps.
Equally unmistakable evidences Of
design are found in the sharpness OF
sight accorded to some creatures. and
the deficiency in others. Sir John Lub.
book has shown us how the exception.
ally intelligent ant race depends en-
tirely on the sense Of smell as guide
to its movement. and that so effectual
! and unerring is the sense of smell. that
sight is scarcely needed; and that, in
fact. the workers have in most cases no
vision at all. though they are descended
from flying insects with highly devel-
oped eyes. The antenne have devel-
Oped to such an extent as to render
sight useless adjunct. and where,
through accident or otherwise, the an
tennw are wanting. the ant is '.as help
less as blind man among ourselves"
The opposite extreme to the ant in a
visual sense is to be found in one or
two kinds of birds. A hawk can spy q
lark upon piece of earth almost exact
ly the same color at twenty times the
distance it is perceptible to man or
dog; kite soaring out of human sight
can still distinguish and pounce upon
lizards and field mice on the ground;
and the distance ut which vultures and
eagles can spy out their prey is almost
incredible. Recent discoveries, and
especially Darwin's observations. have
inclined naturalists to the belief that
birds of prey have not the acute
sense of smell with which they were
once accredited. Their acute sight
seems better t, account for their
actions. and they appear to be guided
by sight alone, rs they never sniff any
thing. but dart strai ght at the object
of their desire. Their countcrparts in
the ocean. however, undoubtedly see
and smell equally well. but
are more guided by smell than
sight. In both sharks and rays, the
eyes are good. and have most dis
tinct expression; though, since they
scent their prey from distance. and
swim up to it with great rapidity.
''smell," as Lacepede says, ..may be
called their real eye" Smell. in Mr.
Herbert Spencer's definition, is antici-
patary taste; and the manner in which
sight. as the dominating sense, is sub
stituted for smell, the higher the evolu-
ton of the animal, is remarkably inter-
esting to follow, once the varieties of
sight are understood. and both sight |
and smell are studied in connection
with the particular habits of the crea-
ture for which they were designed.
Turn where We will, sight and the Or
gans of sight are everywhere adapted
in the most perfect manner to the ne
cessities of the animal world: and in
realizing this fact, we realize the truth |
of the words: 1.-THE first wonder is the |
offspring of ignorance. the last is the
parent of alteration. Chambers

Emperor Williams Fortune.

1t appears that the Emperor has had
his fortune told twice. The first time
was in 1868. He was strolling in
cognitO in a wood near Baden, accom-
panied by his faithful Bismarck and
other friends. Suddenly they came
across an old Gypsy. who begged to be
allowed to tell their fortunes. Several
of the party having tried their luck.
his Majesty consented to do likewise.
The Gypsy took his hand and. after
minute study, said: II see great
crown, bloodshed, wars, laurels, and q
life of ninety-six years" The second
time was in 1884. The Emperor had
forgotten all about the Gypsy's
prophecy when a niece of Count
Czechenyi. the Austrian Ambassador.
arrived in Berlin and created q great
sensation not only by her beauty but
by her reputcd skill in palnsistry. She
was presented at court, and his Males
ty. in playful spirit took advantage
of the occasion to consult her. She
had no sooner scrutinized his hand
than she exclaimed: II see a life Of
ninety-six years. London Truth.

SUPERFLUOUS WOMEN.
The Peculiar State Of Englands SOcial Sy,
tenn at the Present Day.


The usual retOrt, when women COM
plain of want of rcmunerative employ
ment. is that they should not work,
but find men to support them. As
there are 100000 more women than
men in England. it is obviously impos-
sible that every woman should have =
husband. This state of things is as
bad in Germany also. i preponder-
ance of the women over the men il
greatest in the professional and upper
middle classes. Among the richer
aristocracy of England, and the abso-
lutely working people, the sexes are
still equal in number. and women can
still marry. But the sons of clergymen.
officers, civil servants, lawyers. doctors
and some of the country gentry find
the struggle for existence too great in
this kingdom; they emigrate. or leave
the country by joining the military
or naval service. Their sisters all re-
main at home. unable to find husbands,
and uneducated for work. even do
nestle work. These ..supcrfluous
women" most undoubtedly. as body.
peform the first duty of their sex-that
of being charming; they are often
handsome, are generally well manner
ell and well dressed. They are .'charnl-
ers," but there is no one to charm.
They know very well that their changes
of marriage are almost nil; therefore,
should !; solitary sutton with even
modest competency appear. they feel
driven to accep: the first man who
asks them. whether they care for him
or not. and most generally they Go
not. Their parents wish to get rid of
them. so they marry without love. An
evil arises ont of this, more CHASTITY
than can be described. The marriage
of conrenance is a recognized social
institution abroad. In England, in
this nineteenth century, the
women of the upper mid
die classes adopt it without acknowl-
edging it. However we may affect to
deny it, there is vast amount of mar
ried unhappiness in all classes. The
fault is sometimes ascribed to the
present degeneracy of women and
to the deterioration of the
men. The fact really lies in our social
system, which gives woman neither
work nor money and obliges her to sell
herself before she has lost her only
commodities = youth and
beauty. As there exists four ''super-
fuous women" to one man. the female
has no choice, while the lorlly male
has the greater number from whom to
pick and choose. Therefore. in this
many women have not only no
chance of marrying at all, but no free
dom of selection whatever Nati,nal
